Rci never booked my trip even though barge was pending on my credit card
If you were planning on buying a timeshare and you have to book through RCI do not do it. Every time I try to book either the site would go down and then when I went back in it would be gone, however the perfect example happened last night, I was booking my Trip to Hawaii for October, had the week that I wanted, got everything all enter the credit card, hit submit got a confirmation was told that I was going to get an email, saw the charge pending on my credit card never received the email looked into the account it was never booked. Charge was on my credit card pending now so you would think that it went through and because I didn’t get the email I called and they proceeded to tell me oh I’m sorry that week is no longer available you must’ve done something wrong, this is happened a ton of time also during Covid breakout the first year when there was no travel and people didn’t want you going in the other states RCI expired your points if they were to expire that year instead of extending them knowing that nobody could travel so you just paid for your points and lost them because there was a worldwide pandemic going on I wouldn’t have given them any stars however it made me give them one. Do yourself a favor if you’re going to get a timeshare look at a Marriott Hilton or Wyndham but stay away from any that have to do with RCI. It wasn’t so much that I had to have that week when I booked this I looked for a three month period to get one week, that was the only week that was available for that and not only was I booking my mom was also booking through her RCI and we needed a place that had a few of them available so when we looked for that week, I was able to get one and for some reason with her RCI it didn’t offer that we get offered it today. Sure no big deal. We overlap a show because my mom told her she called in and said I want these two and they’re like OK, but we have to do one at a time well because the clerk took so long entering the information, because her system was slow. My mom lost the second time share. She only got one so now, because mine didn’t go through and she only got one and there’s a few of us going or planning on going. my mom is the only one that can go so now she has a timeshare and none of us can go because we lost out on two of them, she called back to see if there was any other week of course not there’s three days or even five days and that’s what the lady told me she goes I can give you five days, I explained I’m playing from New York so that will be three days in Hawaii. I am not flying that far for three days. That’s why I needed seven and her comment to me was well it’s only two days short of the seven. So now we’ve just canceled everything with RCI and we are doing a different way.
